[MW:26782] Re: Hardness unit

Dear Sir,

248 HV10(Standard method for specifying vickers hardness value)  - Vickers Hardness value of 248 when 10 Kgf load applied on indenter.

The reason why the machine just gives output value as only HV is that the Vicker's hardness value is independent of the applied load (gives same value for 500 gf and 50 Kgf too). The reason for this is the included angle of 136 degree in the square pyramid which gives same hardness value irrespective of load applied. Also the formula HV = 1.854 F/d^2 takes care of the same.

So, if the load setup in your machine is 10 Kgf (Kilogram Force) then you can easily convince the client. If not, try to validate your values by explaining the principle of vickers hardness testing.

Dear Experts,

We are using the MH310 Leeb Hardness Tester to check the hardness of the piping weld joints ( For production- NACE material) . Project specification states that the maximum allowable value is 248 HV10. When using the MH310  Tester to check, the Tester only shows the unit HV (not specified HV10). Client QC worry about unit of value:  the HV unit displayed is HV10 or HV. HV/HV10 are equivalent ? Client required to clarify.

Please help me to clarify this issue and give reference.

Thank you so much.

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change.   Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...
